The encryption is essentially the same. The key is just no longer derived from your credit card number. So all the old devices and apps are fine with books downloaded to them because they receive any new key too. The only problem would be if you downloaded a DRMed book another way and tried to sideload it to a device which hadn't connected to B&N since the key change. In that case, it would still ask for your name and cc# because it doesn't know that will no longer allow it to create the correct key.
